University of Alaska Fairbanks
| Dr. Berezovskaya is responsible for regional
precipitation analyses, such as data QC/QA,
trend analyses, and water budget calculations
over the large northern watersheds.
She also worked with graduate students and
RAs on comparisons of regional precipitation
climatologies and design of the project website. |

Tianna A Bogart
University of Delaware
| Tianna is a research assistant on the project since
the Fall of 2004. She is currently working
on her masters thesis in which the datasets prepared by Steven Quiring and
Kathleen Freeman are used. The thesis includes an analysis of the spatial
distribution of the bias adjustments and a sensitivity analysis on some of
the environmental variables used to calculate the bias adjustments. She
also designed and maintains the UDel project webisite.

Steven M Quiring
University of Delaware
| Steven was a research assistant to the project during
some of his time at the University of Delaware. He applied the bias
adjustments in the region of study and quality checked the raw and
adjusted data. Steven completed his doctorate degree at the University
of Delaware in 2004. Currently Dr. Quiring is an assistant professor in
the Geography Department at Texas A&M University. His recent research
includes drought monitoring and prediction. |
